Melanin comes in two forms: eumelanin, which is brown\/black, and pheomelanin, which is red\/yellow. Together, they influence the full spectrum of eye, hair, and skin tones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dark eyes&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/blog\/brown-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">like brown eyes<\/span><\/strong><\/a>)&nbsp;have&nbsp;high amounts&nbsp;of melanin, mostly eumelanin.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/blog\/amber-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Amber<\/span><\/strong><\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/blog\/green-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">green<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/blog\/hazel-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">hazel eyes<\/span><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;have moderate amounts of both eumelanin and pheomelanin.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grey and light blue eyes have\u00a0very little\u00a0melanin overall, which is why they appear so light.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, grey eyes lack pigment in the front iris layer&nbsp;almost entirely. Instead, light scatters off the collagen fibres in the stroma (a clear layer of tissue), creating the soft, silvery hues we see. This scattering of light \u2014 known as the Rayleigh scattering \u2014 is also why lighter eyes can appear to shift in colour depending on light and surroundings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Grey-eyes-close-up.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up shot of a young man\u2019s left eye, showcasing its grey eye colour.\" class=\"wp-image-26245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Grey-eyes-close-up.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Grey-eyes-close-up-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Grey-eyes-close-up-768x385.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Grey-eyes-close-up-830x416.jpg 830w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Grey-eyes-close-up-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How rare\u00a0is this eye colour?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to pinpoint exactly how many people have this eye colour because it&#8217;s often mistaken for blue. However, it&#8217;s thought that only around\u00a03% of the global population\u00a0has natural grey\u00a0eyes, making them one of the\u00a0rarest\u00a0eye\u00a0colours\u00a0in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re\u00a0most common among people of European descent, especially,\u00a0those born in\u00a0European countries like\u00a0Norway,\u00a0Iceland, Sweden, Ireland,\u00a0Finland\u00a0and the Baltics. In Asia and Africa, however, grey\u00a0eyes are\u00a0one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/blog\/rarest-coloured-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">rarest\u00a0eye\u00a0colours<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. In these locations, the world population tends to have higher levels of melanin and therefore darker\u00a0eyes and darker skin due to evolutionary sun exposure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amber eyes are also very unique and shine with a golden-honey hue, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/blog\/purple-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><u>purple eyes<\/u><\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>are even rarer, often linked with albinism.

Melanin pigment&nbsp;in the iris helps block harmful light. Since grey&nbsp;eyes&nbsp;contain&nbsp;less melanin, especially in the front iris, they allow&nbsp;more light&nbsp;to enter the&nbsp;eye.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s\u00a0why people with lighter\u00a0eye\u00a0colours, like blue or grey, often experience increased light sensitivity and discomfort in bright conditions. Without enough pigment to filter intense bright light, their\u00a0eyes are more exposed to UV rays\u00a0and High Energy Visible (HEV) blue light.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sensitivity increases the risk of conditions like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/eye-health\/age-related-eye-conditions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)<\/span><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ocular melanoma (a rare&nbsp;eye&nbsp;cancer)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eye care tip:\u00a0<\/strong>Protect your eyes with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassesdirect.co.uk\/buying-guides\/lens-options\/sunglasses-categories-uv-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">100%\u00a0UV-blocking sunglasses<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>or UV protective contact lenses.
